The boat has a single deck beam that's laminated from 5 pieces of 4mm plywood. They're 2" wide, but I'll cut the beam to about 1.5" when it's dry. The radius of the finished beam is 16", so the plans call for a 15" radius gluing mold to allow for a little bit of spring back. I started clamping in the middle and worked down to the ends. With 15 plies held together by epoxy, you could probably park a buick on this thing. By the way, I'm clamp-wealthy, despite being a cheap bastard. Also, I think some
googly eyes would make this picture much better.
